Reincarnated Hero System

218 More on Dimensional Rifts

"And here I thought that the 'ruins' were the reason you guys knew about the dimensional rifts. I had expected you guys to have uncovered some of them and gleaned a bit of information from the shared bases but to think that you were already aware of the rifts beforehand."

The young hero held a hand to his chin as he pondered on what Gavin had told him about.

Apparently, information about Dimensional Rifts had been passed down among the royal families and heads of state of various countries across with world.

This led Evan to discover that although the Dimensional Rift on the dark continent was the largest yet, it was not the only one.

Three other rifts had opened up in the past thousand years, however, these rifts only opened up for a short period of time and spewed out a few things before closing up.

The first time, the rifts spewed out strange devices which became the basis for this world's current technological advancements, and the other time it spewed out a bunch of monsters that ended up wiping out a small country.

Said country was apparently something of a 'World Enemy' at the time since the acts of cannibalism, genocide and a few other things that they engaged in earned them mass hatred.

The third time, the rifts brought in a new race of monsters into Aidos, ones who the members of 'The Five' who were active then, personally took action to wipe out.

And as for the reason, this wasn't known publicly, it was simple.

The world leaders didn't really want the masses to know about the fact that space could just randomly tear up and spit out enough monsters to run over a country.

That was something that Evan understood.

Still, after having his information in the System Archive upgraded with the last system updates, Evan was now aware of some things about higher worlds and he understood that breaking through a higher world's natural laws of space and tearing a rift open in them, was not an easy feat.

If it was a simple thing to do, then the demons could have just opened up another rift after the one on the dark continent got sealed.

'But three other rifts opened up? And the places they opened up and what they spat out are quite suspicious too.

I mean, who the heck opens up a rift just to toss in strange tech into another world? Was it defective or something?

And the second one was the country that seemed to be considered a 'World Enemy'. Do they even understand what it means to be a 'World Enemy' or did they just coincidentally use that expression?

Mayb-!'

The young hero's thoughts suddenly came to a halt as a certain possibility popped up in his mind.

'Perhaps, the rifts were opened on purpose?

I already know that Artemisia has a hand in this world's strange magi technology development.

What if the first rift was opened by her on purpose to let those items reach here? So, this world could evolve technologically?

And the second one could have been her trying to wipe out that country without taking direct action.

It's only a guess but it kind of makes sense. After all, if what the system info says about 'Laws' is true, then Artemisia is definitely that powerful.'

Although his thoughts were slightly derailing, the young hero brought himself back to the current issue as he began thinking about how to move forward after hearing what Gavin had to say.

"How much do you guys know about the ruins you've been investigating?"

"Enough to infer that these 'ruins' were actually the living quarters of a group of ancient beings who were most likely seven in number.

And that these ancient beings were probably around before the rift on the dark continent appeared, after all, some of the research papers we found were dated decades before the invasion of a thousand years ago."

Gavin stood up and walked to the small table on the side, picking up a glass and pouring some water for himself and Evan before returning to his seat and continuing.

"Although the dimensional rift research and uncovering these strange 'ruins' that exist all across the continent have been a major subject for the countries of the world. It didn't have that much high priority.

After all, it would be much wiser to pour their resources into dealing with their current problems rather than trying to research something that has only happened three times in more than a thousand years.

However, world leaders have now been given a reason to focus on the research of these symbols. As recently, we have also discovered that there exist people in our current time who are definitely related to these beings of more than a millennia ago.

For more than one of such people to appear now, means that 'something' is bound to happen and we don't know what that 'something' is.

You, Evan Eris, are one of them.

The symbol in your eyes is exactly like the symbol that is always the 'Second' out of the group of 'Seven'."

Evan took the glass of water and downed it before nodding in affirmation as he replied.

"Makes sense, I am the 'Second' after all.

And you said that there are others like me, care to tell me who they are?"

"Well, there's only one other person we've discovered so far and that is someone quite close to you. Your country's crown princess Laurene Hayes.

We discovered this when she showed up at an international conference recently with one of these symbols in her eyes.

It was quite hard to miss.

But besides the two of you, no others are known currently."

Hearing his words, Evan chuckled as he set down the glass on the table and replied.

"If we want to stay hidden, then you wouldn't be able to find us even if we were right in front of you."

"What?"

Evan didn't answer Gavin and only did something he hadn't done in nearly twelve months. He completely switched off his mystic eyes.

And as a result, the crest of Mimicry within them vanished like it was never there, causing Gavin's eyes to widen in shock.

The fact that the Seven Heroes could deactivate their mystic eyes and hide the symbols was something not many knew.
